Embracing a passion for reading, Shawn Weaver has spent a lifetime with the written word. After his father handed Shawn, his first novel at the young age of eight. He found the magical worlds that existed within those pages. From that moment on, no book escaped his grasp. Growing older, Shawn’s collection of novels and comics grew to a library state. And with that, he found the joy of putting his thoughts to writing. A new life began. Words turned from just being a hobby, to a way of life. With a love for the fantasy genre, and role playing games, Shawn had created the world of Zenna. A world unto its own filled with mystical creatures, magic, and passion. Giving the reader endless possibilities of adventure, as the world they find themselves immersed in comes to grasp with the eventuality of war. The Tides of War series gives a glimpse into the lives of those cast into the struggle of the approaching war, a war that no man or beast is free from, and no country will be untouched in some way. Shawn lives with his wife, Rebecca, in a cozy hundred and nine year old house in Beloit, Wisconsin. Two daughters, Amanda and Rhe’Anna, and three grand children, Brooklyn, Nathaniel and Dominic, give him the inspiration to create more works of fantasy. Currently Shawn is working on his next novel for the Tides of War series entitled: The Dark Caravan. For more information on Dragon’s Chest and upcoming works, please go to: www.shawnweaverauthor.com
